Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 123: While I am discussing, it is better for others to be quiet!
In the Northern Qi Dynasty, people always had infinite awe for this great master.

Unlike the other masters, Ku He had tied himself to the entire Northern Qi from the beginning, leaving no room for others. He was high above and no one understood him. Even his second disciple, who had been with him for a long time, could not fully understand the old man's thoughts.

The second disciple, Mu Peng, walked into the hall silently and quickly. He knew that the master had already known that someone had arrived, so he didn't delay and went straight to Ku He's ear and whispered softly, "Master, Concubine De is outside the door. Should we call her in?"

Li An was only an imperial concubine, not as important as the empress dowager and the emperor. However, even if the latter two were present in person, they would only obey the old man's call.

Only Ku He could use the word "call" to the Lord of Da Qi.

Ku He opened his eyes on his calm face and nodded silently. Mu Peng didn't dare to shout loudly in the hall, but went to the door in person to lead the few people into the hall.

"My lady, please."

When Li An entered the depths of the cold and airy hall, he saw the old man sitting cross-legged on the mat.

He had grey hair and a white face, and was dressed in linen clothes with a furrowed brow, almost like an ascetic. However, his calm and peaceful temperament made people forget the world when they saw him.

Wrinkles are ripples caused by time blowing through the body, just as these green mountains are nothing more than extremely slow waves in the geological age.

This Ku He is just an ordinary old man.

"Li An'er, I meet the Imperial Master."

"Sit down." Ku He waved his hand gently, and a cup of rough tea was brought to the table.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Having said that, Ang Lee still remained polite.

After going through the formalities, Li An smiled gently, took the gifts from the two people behind him and placed them on the table, saying, "I am sorry to disturb the state master by coming here, so I offer some gifts as a token of my respect."

He didn't seem to be panicked while speaking, but there was suddenly a hint of blood in the air.

Ku He didn't even raise his eyelids, but a strange smile flashed in his eyes. It was hard for outsiders to imagine that a person with dark, cracked skin, deep wrinkles, and such a poor life could do so many amazing things when he was young, and later, he could achieve the position of a master and protect the peace of a country.

He said calmly, "I heard that you spend all your time in the palace writing?"

Ang Lee: "."

who said it?
Who is making up this rumor about me?

I like!
Alas, the local gang is so rude. I'm giving gifts here, why are they talking about writing storybooks?
"The Imperial Master is well-informed, but writing thick ink is just a pastime."

The palace was boring and tedious. Ku He nodded in agreement. He was looking at Li An carefully, just as Li An was looking at him.

Haitang Duoduo chuckled, "Master, I've come back to see you." As she spoke, she tugged at Li An's clothes, signaling him to be more respectful.

Ku He used to like this little disciple the most, but today, he didn't even pay any attention to him.

After a long while, he slowly asked Li An as if he was amused: "You look like an old friend I know. But, are you a man or a woman?"

An old friend?

Ye Qingmei?
You scold me?
Three questions flashed through his mind. It would be a lie for Li An to say that he was not afraid of this great master. However, it was a bit too much for him to hit him in the face as soon as they met. Feeling the hand holding his clothes pause, Li An smiled silently and said, "What's the difference?"

"There is no difference." Ku He affirmed, and then observed Li An's face, gradually comparing it with the image in his memory, "I understand your intention, but this choice of queen..."

"Could it be that the Grand Master still needs to make a selection?"

The atmosphere in the room was very subtle. Facing one of the strongest men in the world, Li An should have been more awed. But for some reason, he just couldn't feel awed. He didn't even feel a little excited. Maybe he knew the shackles behind the other party's glory, or maybe he was only thinking about the other party's cultivation, or maybe he was still eager to try something in his heart.
"To be appointed a general in the army, one must have military merit and strength; to be selected as a scholar in the imperial court, one must also have a clear understanding of the classics; so how can Your Majesty not choose the empress after you have appointed her?"

There was an endless stream of people in the front hall of Qingshan, but the top of the mountain was sparsely populated.

Even his disciples who had been with him for a long time were very respectful when they were with him. It was rare to meet someone like Li An. Ku He was filled with joy and even spoke in a more relaxed manner. He said with a teasing tone, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother both wrote to you, praising you highly. However, I also want to hear how you would respond."

"In the military, the appointment of a general depends not only on his bravery but also on the luck of the times; in the imperial examinations, there is also jealousy of talent; but if a country appoints a queen, if there is no one to fight for her and no strong support, who can take her away?"

"Sister An'er!" Haitang Duoduo became a little anxious, and even Mu Peng looked at her sideways.

On the surface, Ang Lee speaks in a noble and elegant manner, with an authority that makes people awe-inspiring and convinced, but what he says is nothing but appalling!
To put it bluntly, it means eliminating all competitors, so naturally no one will compete with him for the position of queen.

Very confident!
"Concubine De is telling the truth. This matter of enthroning the Queen is just a formality for me."

Ku He calmly shook his head. The sound of the dry and rough skin rubbing against the linen clothes made the listeners feel a little bitter. "But the palace is full of splendid and dazzling things. If I propose a candidate for the queen, what will you do?"

After saying that, a powerful aura rushed towards him and attacked Li Ang directly!
The Grand Master is different from what people think. He is not a sage who is as ethereal as a fairy, nor a sword immortal who is detached from the mortal world. He is just unparalleled tyranny and strength!
Even if he was gentle to others one second ago, he might turn into a ruthless person the next second!

It's just so casual!
And they are also qualified to be casual!

Very calm, and very old, Ku He's eyes were filled with rampant hostility and inexplicable unyielding will, as if he could fight against the sky, and his piety to the temple shown in the past was just a disguise.

Li An tried hard to keep his composure, although he was sad inside, but he did not show it on his face, which made him seem extremely concerned about his appearance and etiquette.

It was past noon and the sun was beginning to set slightly.

The light struggled to break through the clouds, and a ray of bright color poured into the room, shining on the faces of the two people, illuminating all their demeanor and expressions clearly. After the storm, Ku He was the first to break the silence and said, "Weren't you still confident just now? Why are you silent now?"

This time, it was Li An's turn to slowly shake his head.

"The National Master has practiced martial arts and read scriptures for most of his life. He should know how to distinguish truth from falsehood. It's okay to spread rumors to deceive ordinary people, but who is the National Master?" Li An pointed out many things in his words. He continued, "Your vision also determines the vision of Da Qi."

Ku He stared at Li An for a long time, then sighed hoarsely, "Before I founded Tianyi Dao, I was just a vulgar and unknown junior. Everything was decided by my elder brother, so how could I have any vision?"

"There are no 'nobodies' in this era. Any ordinary person may be entrusted with an important task at any time, and any prominent person may be replaced at any time."

Ang Lee smiled appropriately, but his words were sharp and pointed!
"Empress De Fei!"

His words were suddenly interrupted, and Mu Peng could not help but respond in a deep voice: "Master, I am just being modest. Please be careful with your words and show more awe and respect!"

"From this palace onwards, all students are equal."

"From this palace down, the classes are clearly divided."

The smile on Li An's face slowly faded. He turned his head and stared into Mu Peng's eyes, saying word by word: "This palace and the national teacher are discussing here. We should be more respectful and respectful."

"It's you!"
